In my experience so far, I am feeling somewhat lost too. I feel like a lot that I "learn" in the books is reiterating stereotypes which is the last thing a couselor or counseling program should be doing. Also, I have not learned about many theories that are appropriate for non-white, non-male clients. So, what am I to do? Wing it? Use the theories I have learned although I know they were not designed with multicultural clients in mind? Only time will tell I suppose. Thanks for the blog. I agree as well.

I completely agree with your post! I often question how committed we really are to facing these issues in a profession that claims to promote authenticity. Home run!
